The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently announced it will terminate Temporary Protected Status for Afghanistan, effective July 12.
It's putting thousands of evacuated Afghans at risk of being deported back to their motherland, which is still under Taliban rule.
One of the leading organizations that helped during the withdrawal from Afghanistan has ties to San Diego. On Midday Edition, we hear the reaction from #AfghanEvac's founder and president.
